Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in Graphic & Digital Design Add-on
This one-year Level 8 add-on degree is a natural stepping stone for graduates on our current level 7 BA in Graphic Design to acquire an honours degree. The programme
integrates theory and practice to prepare students for a career as Graphic and Digital designers in an industry which is in a constant state of innovation. It is designed to
ensure that students acquire the latest industry standard technical skills and become capable of working across media platforms.
What will I experience?
The course is focused around contemporary design practices and aims to develop students’ critical awareness of professional design practice. The environment is also conducive to aiding the realisation of a personal creative vision. The diversity of the peer group will both challenge and engage each designer to articulate their concepts coherently both in individual pursuits and those of a team-based setting in written and digital forms.
Each student will be encouraged to explore and take risks with static and moving imagery, sound and text while understanding and developing critical awareness of professional design practice. Students will take part in a live industry led project to develop their knowledge and skills to respond to client and audience complexities and to develop entrepreneurship and foster professional links
